Why NPA’s Electronic Call Up Collapsed—Stakeholders

Stakeholders in the nation’s maritime industry have given reasons the electronic call-up system of the Nigerian Port Authority (NPA) have collapsed.

They cited the return of trucks and the traffic congestion in the adjoining roads that lead to Apapa as evidence of the failure of the new call-up system for trucks.

The stakeholders blame lack of stakeholders’ engagement and the suspension of the former Managing Director of NPA for the failure of the new system.

In a chat with our correspondent, a truck owner and member of Committee of Maritime Trucks Union Association (COMTUA), Alhaji Abdullahi Inuwa, said lack of stakeholders’ engagement on the part of eto handlers has led to the failure of the e- call up system.

Inuwa informed that for the e- call up to work effectively, the eto handlers need to constantly engage stakeholders with continuous sensitization programmes. He also blamed the ongoing construction at Tin Can as one of the impediments to the smooth operation of the e- call up system.

He said, “I think lack of stakeholders engagement on the part of the eto people has led to the collapse, also if you look at the Tin Can road , you know construction is ongoing, so this also has affected the smooth sail of the eto call up system, there is need for them to constantly engage stakeholders and continuous sensitization will have a great impact, if the e-call up system will work”.

On her part, Hajia Bola Muse, one of the truck garage owners and member of the Association of Nigeria Licensed Customs Agents (ANLCA) however blamed the people for the failure of the e-call up system, she said the e- call up in its entirety cannot be referred to as failure. She blamed users of the new system who, according to her, have refused to adhere to the rules and regulations for the challenges the e-call up has suffered.

“The e-call up is not a failure; I will be the last person to say it is a failure, it is the people that have made it to look as if it is a failure, the system itself is not a failure; but the people, people finds it difficult to obey, they are always looking for ways to cut corners, that is why it looks as if the e-call up failed, if we all do the right thing, the system is there, it will work perfectly”.

However, on his part, another stakeholder; Mr Demola Aromire, blamed the suspension of the Managing Director, of Nigerian Port Authority (NPA) Hadiza Bala Usman for the collapse of the e-call up system.

Aromire said following the suspension of the former MD, the e-call up system has become nothing to talk about, pointing out that although there were some hiccups before Hadiza left, but he acknowledged that it has now degenerated to a complete failure worse than how it was before the introduction of the e- call up system.

“If you ask me, whether it is because of Hadiza’s suspension, I will say it has added to it, and has even ruined the whole system, yes when she was there the e-call up was not working smooth, but it was not as bad as this, the e- call up has now become nothing to write home about, people now see the e-call up as a cash cow, in fact with the way the e –call up system is going, it will be worse than before its introduction.

KNOW YOUR BODY PARTS: The Liver The liver is a vital organ located in the right upper abdomen, playing a crucial role in metabolism, detoxification, and digestion. It’s the largest solid organ in the body and is responsible for filtering blood, maintaining blood sugar levels, regulating clotting, and synthesizing essential proteins. The liver also stores energy, removes toxins, and produces bile, which aids in digestion Liver functions: · Metabolism and Detoxification: The liver processes nutrients from the blood, breaks down and balances them, and creates essential substances for the body. It detoxifies harmful substances like drugs and alcohol, converting them into less toxic forms for excretion. The liver plays a role in the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. It stores glycogen (a form of glucose) and vitamins, releasing them when the body needs them. · Digestion: The liver produces bile, which is stored in the gallbladder and released into the small intestine to help digest fats. Bile also helps in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. · Blood Regulation: The liver regulates blood sugar levels by storing and releasing glucose. It synthesizes clotting factors, which are essential for blood clotting. It removes old red blood cells and processes bilirubin, a byproduct of red blood cell breakdown. · Other Functions: The liver plays a role in immunity, helping to fight off infections. It produces proteins that are involved in the immune response. The liver also stores iron and other essential minerals. Frequently Asked Questions About The Liver · What are the first signs of a bad liver? The initial signs of liver problems can be vague and subtle, often including fatigue, nausea, and loss of appetite. As the liver’s condition worsens, more specific symptoms may emerge, such as jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), itchy skin, dark urine, and light-colored stools. Abdominal pain, especially in the upper right quadrant, can also indicate liver issues. · Where do you feel liver pain? Liver pain is typically felt in the upper right abdomen, just beneath the rib cage. It can manifest as a dull, throbbing pain, a stabbing sensation, or a general feeling of discomfort in that area. In some cases, liver pain might be felt as an ache in the right shoulder or back. · What does liver pain feel like? How liver pain feels can vary from person to person, depending on the cause. However, most people often develop one or more of the following symptoms: Dull, persistent aches in the upper abdomen A feeling of fullness or bloating Sharp, stabbing pains that come and go Tenderness when the upper abdomen is touched · What is the best way to cleanse your liver? If you haven’t been working out, start indulging in a regular exercise regime to allow the toxins to come out of your body. Yoga, going running, hitting the gym, or a simple sauna session can also prove effective. If you want a natural liver cleanse, sweating is the way to go. · How to know if the liver is swollen? What are the symptoms of an enlarged liver? You likely won’t notice an enlarged liver on your own. In some severe cases, you might notice a feeling of bloating or fullness in your belly or an ache in your upper right abdomen. · What is the best drink to flush your liver? Many citrus fruits, including lemon, can be added to water to help stimulate and flush out the liver. Lemons are high in nutrients like vitamin C and antioxidants
